lU ALL WHOM IT CONCERN:

Be it known that I, H. S. OAKLEY, o f Cambridgeport', Middlesex eounty, Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful improvement in Bottles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exaot I description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the artvto make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

v' lhe drawing represents aside elevation, partly in section, of rny improved bottle.

This invention relates toa new ymamier of arranging the necks of'bottles, containing soda-'water or any other liquid charged withearbonio aid, with a 'view'oi' retaining the cork or Stopper, so that'the seme cannot be lost or misleid, although it can bevopened or closed at will.

-The invention consists in arranging on the inside of the neck of' the bottle, near to the -month ofthe same,

a shonldenl'which is to retain the outward .hent ends of spring wires, or lugs projecting from the same, said wires being secured to the cork or stopper in any suitable. manner. n

A. represents the neck of a bottle. B is its mouth. C is the shoulder, formed on the insilde of the neck, near-to the rnouth, so as to form a hold for the wires D, which are attached to the cork E in any suitable inanner, and project from its under side, as shown. l v

When the bottlcxis opened, as 'in the drawing, the bent-out ends of the wires or stops attached to the same catch under the shoulder C, and prevent the'oork from being withdrawn altogether lfrom the bottle, although the said shoulderdoes not prevent the bottle from being eii'ectually closed, i Y

I claim, and desire toseciire by Letters lPatent, as an improved article of manufacture- A bottle, provided with a shoulder, C, on the inside of its neck, near to its mouth, substantially :1s-:md

for'the'purpose herein shown and described. Y i Y vH. S. CARLEY.
